Hold The Bucks 7 Watch out for: Hollow Penny took a big step forward when third in a warm Exeter handicap last month and gets the vote off the same mark. Yes I Will looks a sure-fire improver now going handicapping, while Hold The Bucks should give another good account back at the scene of his 2 hurdles wins. P F Nicholls 1.

Alfraamsey backed up his course hurdle victory with a solid third-placed effort in a 'jumpers' bumper' at Lingfield and he ought to figure prominently on his chasing return, but ULCK DU LIN shades the verdict.

This represents a big drop in class for Paul Nicholls' charge and he is now 9lb lower than his last winning mark. Ulck Du Lin 1 Watch out for: Ulck du Lin is prone to finishing weakly but this looks his easiest assignment for some time and he might be able to cash in his much-reduced mark.

Alfraamsey was due to defend his unbeaten course record here on Sunday and is respected with Nozic, who also has a good record at Plumpton with 2 wins and a second from 4 visits.

I was certainly intrigued by this dark psychological thriller because I enjoy books written in this genre. I deducted a star because I felt the book ended unexpectedly, leaving some of my questions unanswered, but I suspect the full truth might be revealed in the next book of the series. Not having read any books by Conrad Jones before, I was blown away by how enjoyable Brick is. Like anyone else reading Brick, I was rooting for teenager Bryn Evans and his family, fearing for their lives throughout, especially with three powerful, brutal, heartless crime gangs in the mix.

The author certainly knows how to bring characters to life and set the scene. He also knows how to kill off many of his characters in gut-wrenching ways. Brick kept me glued to each skilfully written page as my heart raced like the clappers. Blackwater Lake was a fine introduction to her work. As it is a novella, it was a quick and enjoyable read. From the first page, I wanted to get to the truth behind the mysterious happenings at Blackwater Lake almost as much as Matthew Stanyer did. I asked myself whether Blackwater Lake could have been written as a full-length book, but it worked perfectly as an atmospheric novella and I never once felt short-changed.

I read and enjoyed Walls of Silence by Helen Pryke a few months ago. I was so impressed by the quality of her writing that I vowed to read her next book.

Other Information

The author has beautifully encapsulated the essence of the Italian countryside and tells a compelling, magical, easily understood story. Sorry to be a spoilsport, but I loved it. I had a mild wobble at the beginning of the book when I wondered if I could stomach the extreme violence against young women by the psychopathic Shakespeare-loving Peter King and his amoral lover, Charles Honeywell, but I persevered. I was rewarded with a thrilling, engrossing, unique reading experience, a rollercoaster ride that kept my heart racing.

I was compelled to discover if despicable King would get away with his abominable, heartless crimes, so I was compelled to overcome my fears of being too shocked and read on. I particularly enjoyed the skilfully handled eerie, otherworldly possession of four-year-old Chloe.

Her books are becoming more satisfying with each one I read in the series, as the main characters are now more familiar to me. Dead Jealous is an engaging British police procedural, with three interwoven serious crime cases under investigation. Yet again, the author shows she is a safe pair of hands, and the reader is kept guessing who the criminals are from beginning to end. There are many suspects, all living on the rundown Hobfield housing estate in a fictitious town, Leesdon, in the north of England. If you enjoy reading interesting, skilfully written British police procedurals that keep you guessing, then you should read this book.

Its striking cover had been nagging me to read this book since the first time I saw it advertised. As a woman, I can multitask, so I could just about keep track of events in each case.

One case begins with a breakout of attacks on care home workers and deals with the emotive subject of abuse and neglect of vulnerable inmates in care homes. The second case for Bennett and Owen to solve kicks off when the skeletons of two infants, buried decades earlier, are unearthed at a teacher training college. I slightly preferred book 3. The idea behind the book is original and disturbing, which always makes for a gripping book.

My interest was held throughout because I needed to know who was behind the disappearance of teenage boys and how DCI Cyril Bennett and his team would solve the mystery. Death Wish is an interesting mix of fraught family relationships. You can thank me later. There was the same masterful writing style, interesting characters, and the wit of the author continued to shine through. Kent Fisher is an amateur detective while somehow just about managing to hold down a job as an environmental health officer, plus running an animal sanctuary. I found the side stories, the undercurrent of love interest with Gemma, the trials and tribulations of his job challenges, as interesting as the more traditional crime thriller elements.

Fisher struggles to find out who is behind the disappearance of several local wives, and the book builds to a gripping climax that it would be rude of me to divulge in this review. No Bodies is well worth a read. Walls of Silence is one of those books that I will remember. I had no idea what to expect as knew nothing about the author or the subject matter beforehand. Her father was such a spineless creature, I still feel angry when I think of him. My hackles rose so often during reading this powerful book because the author breathed life into the characters so well.

If the reader has been abused and disbelieved in any way, this book will reignite those feelings. Although there was much sexual abuse in the book, it was not gratuitously sexual, because this difficult subject was handled with great sensitivity. Maria is not the only woman to come to harm in the book, but it is mostly her hard-hitting story. I appreciated the way the story carries on smoothly from book 1. The hero, biochemist Gavin Shawlens, was suffering from the terrible aftermath of what happened in the previous book while getting to the bottom of performance-enhancing drugs, and the mysterious disappearance of some athletes.

Gavin also had to struggle to avoid falling foul of several unpleasant, dangerous characters. This Lambeth Group series benefitted from the introduction of Zoe, a no-nonsense, feisty ex-SAS operative who was tasked with working undercover with Gavin for the Lambeth Group. The author managed to skillfully weave the plot and sub-plots together, along with all the many characters involved, so the book kept me gripped throughout, and beyond.

The ending makes me want to read book three, as it cunningly set the scene for future exciting problems for Gavin and Zoe to resolve for the Lambeth Group. I have no scientific background, but I could tell the author knew his onions when it came to biochemistry. I learned some interesting scientific facts, especially about pineapples and enzymes.

The book brimmed over with satisfying suspense, emotional depth, espionage, murders, nail-biting moments, and intrigue. There was even some love interest thrown in for good measure with the appearance of Emma, the former love of biochemist Gavin Shawlens, the hero of the piece. Each element of this fast-action book worked well for me. I could see each of the characters clearly, so it mattered to me what happened to each of them, particularly Dylan, and why it had happened.

Always the sign of a satisfying, worthwhile read. Each story had its own merits and charm. None of the stories were a disappointment, whether set in the past, present, or future. I must be on the same wavelength. I particularly enjoyed the final crazy story, Silence of the Lambtons. The anachronisms add to the fun. He has an elegant, pleasing style and his books are thankfully free of typos.

I preferred One Punch to the first book, Storey, which I also enjoyed. He has an imagination I admire and can relate to. The main female characters in The Eyes of the Accused are stronger, more complex, satisfying characters than the males, and figure more than in book 1. Luckily for me, the romance is less evident than the tense, climactic, pleasingly shocking action in the book. This book is essential reading for anyone who enjoys hard-hitting, imaginative, psychological thrillers by talented authors. No Safe Home grabbed me by the scruff of the neck from the first page and rocketed me on a breathless journey through to a satisfying conclusion.

A reader will always feel cheated if they guess the murderer early on in a book. The author skilfully kept the tension high throughout the book, making me fearful for the lives of Kate and her son, Frankie. Her sensitive style is easy to digest, which is half the battle and she cleverly entraps the reader from page one. The author deftly shows how an infertile man can be driven to extremes to keep hold of his woman. His disintegrating grip on reality is beautifully portrayed. Julie, a single mother, becomes involved in the drama and becomes a main strand to the story. As with all good thrillers, the tension mounts and the unpredictable outcome keeps the reader gripped to the end.

Baby Dear is well worth your time. The other is written by Caroline Mitchell. I thoroughly enjoyed both the event and reading her involving psychological crime thriller, Sleep Tight. I was born in Jersey and lived there for eighteen years, so I particularly appreciated that another Channel Island, Alderney, was one of the settings for the story. DCI Tom Douglas and his officers are set on protecting her and her children from deranged Robert, who is equally set on destroying everything to do with Olivia, including her children after she runs from him.

I eventually chose The Attic Room. Its mysterious cover intrigued me as I knew something awful must have gone on behind that door. All you need to know is that the story and fluid style will draw you in. It touches on a subject not often discussed and the author has been brave enough to tackle it head-on. Her life becomes complicated when she decides to stay in his house while she sorts out the legalities following his death. The book builds to a tense climax, with a possible romance bubbling under the surface for Nina, subtle enough not to ruin the main story.

There were no annoying loose ends in The Attic Room. I read it in a couple of nights as the style was easy to read, despite it being written in the language of the times, yet with incongruous, hilarious mentions throughout of modern references and people. He has a satisfying way with the names of people and places. Colin Garrow can certainly tell an imaginative, cracking good yarn and I will no doubt be reading more of his books.

I found her style easy to digest and the story grabbed me from the start. The unusual subject matter was intriguing and pleasingly dark. Head transplant surgery is an interesting, novel hypothesis. I enjoyed the stories of the diverse characters who wanted to have their heads transplanted onto superior bodies to their own for health or cosmetic reasons. The sinister aura of crazy Dr. Heads Will Roll is well written and certainly worth reading. I could picture them and their surroundings as I read, making the storyline easy to follow. I had a certain degree of sympathy for the killer, but if I say why, it would give too much of the plot away; I dislike spoilers.

The interesting subplots have been skilfully woven into the main story, giving it depth. I enjoyed the petulant squabbling between Calladine and Greco. Dead List is more of a whydunnit rather than a whodunnit, which is no bad thing. Its content is entirely different from the first book I read of his, a thriller called Storey , but Actress was equally enjoyable. The plotlines have been skilfully woven, with surprises along the way, especially the ending. I mostly read crime thrillers these days, so it was refreshing to read about the intricacies of the life of a rising young actress, Mai Rose, who seems to be a magnet for bad publicity.

I look forward to reading more books by Keith Dixon. Few books have left me feeling so moved. Never have I hated a character as much as I hated vile Detective Inspector Carver; a sadistic, devious man, to put it mildly. The use of the afterlife in the plot is skillful, beautifully effective and credible. What a brilliantly moving, involving 5-star book, one that I urge everyone to read. I loved it and wondered if The Revelation Room, an earlier book, would live up to my high expectations.

Amelia Grace Seiler (Author of Breakpoint)

Mark Tilbury is now one of my favourite authors, and I look forward to reading every book he writes or has written. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about how our hero, Roger Conniston, is arrested for the brutal murder of a girl. It was a refreshing change for me to read a historical romantic fiction book after reading back to back gritty crime thrillers over the past few months, especially a book so well written and involving.

Set in the Dark Ages, it follows the threatened, challenging lives of lovers Annis of Wessex, estranged daughter of the brutal King of Wessex and Alden du Lac, son of Launcelot. Their love story is enchanting and by no means straightforward. The author has a pleasingly controlled style of writing and the text is easy to read, despite the story being set so long ago. I will read the other books in this historical romance series, as I need to discover what happens next to young Annis and Alden. Yet another winner from Betsy Reavley, with unexpected twists, turns, and gut-wrenching surprises.

The use of first person narrative has been used to great effect and the story flows smoothly. Josie, the main character in the book, is a satisfyingly complex character, beset by gargantuan, disturbing problems, so naturally my interest was held throughout the book. I finished reading Graveyard Rose last night and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. He made my hackles rise more than the monsters. I could perfectly visualise the dangerous fantasy world the author skillfully described. She made me care enough about the heroine, Lena, to want to find out about what will happen between her and mysterious, masked Christopher in the next book.

I enjoyed this second book of this gothic paranormal romance series even more than the first book, Graveyard Rose. It continues the story of feisty Lenara and her involvement with the mysterious, masked Christopher. Many of the questions I had about Christopher were answered, but I will need to read book three to get to the bottom of it all. The series makes a refreshing change from the usual crime thrillers I read.

5. Amelia Grace Seiler;

The author is skilled enough to have created a credible fantasy world of werewolves, vampires, and humans. It is another gripping, disturbing, unusual, hard-hitting psychological thriller full of surprises and gruesome happenings.
